The economy is really getting bad

Nancy Pelosi says 500 million Americans lose their jobs every month:

Yet the United States current population is only a little over 300 million:

LOL, I was thinking more a paper round. But that can be a tough discipline... getting up in the morning come rain come shine, avoiding the dogs and the ol' biatches, finding the quickest route to the next door (parkour-shmarkour), big heavy bag...

Fred, I was only winding you up, but...

get a job!

You're in college? I made the mistake of not working except in hols in uni and I'm still paying. You're going to join the army? So you're going to have some money? Yeah, I'm going to have some money one day.

I worked since 14, and was paying rent to my folks (my decision) from... 14.

[golden arhat]

ahahaha amazing

getting a job is easier said than done when everyones getting laid off!

and how mcuh rent were you paying at 14 realistically ahah 50p

[Mr Punch]

Can't remember... but I think I was making 32 quid at 14 (paper round), and seem to remember paying 15... in those days it was more than now (we're talking over 20 years ago). Plus, and this is the important point that a lot of people don't seem to realise about economics and finance on a personal level, 15 quid a week to my parents was more than 0 quid a week. That means it's an improvement.

Let's put it another way, pal, if someone offered you 15 quid a week would you say, "No, thank you that's worth nothing!"?!

Plus they could stop paying my pocket money, and I started buying my own clothes, supplementing the food shopping and could even buy my own beer - not that my parents would've bought me that anyway (what can I say - I wasn't as wholesome a youth as you ).

i can see the sense in paying your parents rent at least its going straight into food your eating

[YouKnowWho]

There was a house in Pismo Beach, California that has excellent ocean view and worth for $3,000,000 and sold for $1,600,000. Did Donald Trump say this is the best time to invest because everything is so cheap? This just remind me an old Chinese joke (野人献曝) that one day a barbarian went to the palace and suggested to the Chinese emperor that "Staying under the sun can keep your body warm." Donald Trump's comment was just from the opposite extreme.

We seem to be doing alright...but we're evil, right?
